17451802

17451802 is a minor planet classified as a main‑belt asteroid. It carries the numerical designation assigned by the International Astronomical Union after its orbit was sufficiently well determined. The asteroid was discovered on 12 November 2015 by the Pan‑STARRS survey at the Hale Ale telescope in Hawaii. Its provisional designation was 2015 ZG10, and after the orbit confirmation it received the permanent number 17451802.

Orbital parameters place the asteroid in the central region of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Its semi‑major axis is approximately 2.50 astronomical units, with an eccentricity of 0.12 and an orbital period of about four years. The inclination of its orbit relative to the ecliptic is roughly 8 degrees. The asteroid belongs to the G-type spectral class, suggesting a composition rich in silicates and possibly hydrated minerals. Based on its absolute magnitude of 15.1 and an assumed albedo of 0.05, its diameter is estimated to be around 5 kilometers.

No physical studies such as light‑curve analysis or spectroscopic measurements have been published as of 2024, so rotation period, pole orientation, and detailed composition remain unknown. The asteroid has not been given a traditional name and is referred to only by its numerical designation. Its future close encounters with other bodies are predicted to be non‑significant, and its orbit is considered stable over the next few million years.
